| Global 2000 at risk due to rapid cloud deployment Too fast too soon Global 2000 has rushed the movement of legacy applications to the cloud due to COVID-19, and nearly two thirds are ‘at risk’ for unexpected cost/performance issues as a result of having simply “lifted and shifted” applications instead of optimising prior to migrating them. Virtana Chief Transformation Officer Scott Leatherman said that most companies had little choice when the pandemic hit as their data center capacity was not built for the instant tsunami-sized jolt of increased load. Procurement of new on-premises hardware in the timeframe necessary wasn’t practical nor in their long-term plans. While they wanted to move more to the cloud, they were forced to do it overnight. The Virtana analysis also revealed that Global 2000 companies were implementing hybrid cloud strategies long before the COVID-19 global pandemic. In working with hundreds of organisations, Virtana found that 80 percent of large enterprises initiated their hybrid cloud migrations at least three years ago. Yet, in being prudent, they had migrated less than 10 percent of planned workloads. With COVID-19 as the catalyst, cloud migration has had noticeable acceleration. https://fudzilla.com/news/memory-and...oud-deployment |
